Arylon Family

Welcome to the Noble House of Arylon.
No Sacrifice. No Victory.

---

The House of Arylon or Arylon Family is a noble house of somewhat recent birthright, hailing originally from the remote regions of Cagilan Empire. All those who identify with the Arylon Clan can trace their roots back to a common ancestor, Avalair Arylon who is considered the patriarch of the family. The name itself originates from the ancient hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient Atamaran language means "Lord". There are over 30 members of the most recent generation of the family alive in the world today, though the four sons of Mannix Arylon have the most influence and importance.

History of the Noble House of Arylon

Template:Main Template:Main The House of Arylon was originally a common family hailing from the Calis region in what is today the Cagilan Empire. In Ancient times, members of this family were mostly craftsmen, specifically blacksmiths who specialized in creating deadly weapons for use by primitive warlords in their campaigns on the continent of Atamara.

Lordship was bestowed upon the Arylon family roughly a century ago, when Avalair wed the daughter of the Count of Calis, Julienn Stanford, thus cementing the future nobility of his family. Upon the death of Julienn's father, Avalair assumed control of Calis and took a second name, Arylon, which is a modified version of the hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient Atamaran language means "Lord". It was a title given to the tribal warlords that used to roam Calis in the chaos that existed before the nations of Atamara formed.

Prior to Avalair's ascension to Lordship, members of the family went only by one name, and mostly resided in primitive towns in the rural areas surrounding Calis - serving as the local blacksmith, and sometimes carpenter. Excellent craftsmen, ancient warlords often chose these men to produce the weapons used in their campaigns across the Atamaran continent.

Avalair's line and family name survives today through the children of his grandsons Mannix and Caven Arylon, who now represent the current standard bearers of the family.

The Current Standard Bearers

Jaden - Son of Mannix

Jaden Arylon is the eldest of the four living sons of Mannix, and currently claims the standard of House Arylon. His brother, Fisc Arylon also claims the family's standard, not knowing that his brother Jaden is still alive. In his life, he has been many things, a knight, a trader, a hero, and a region lord. He has also spent time on three different continents, finally settling down in the realm of Fronen, in the region of Iaera. After deciding to set up roots, found a reconstituted Black Tower, and permanently settle in Fronen, the monster invasion overwhelmed his home, and he became a refugee, fleeing to the realm of Riombara. With the complete destruction of his former home, he has pledged his sword to the realm that took him in.

Galen - Son of Mannix

Galen Arylon was born of Mannix Arylon in the region of Nardil in the Cagilan Empire on the continent of Atamara. He traveled with his father to the Colonies, where he was eventually captured with his mother and brother Jaden. Jaden was able to escape, but Galen remained and grew up under the care of Kaendall Istar, stripped of nobility. When he matured into adulthood, faced with no claim of nobility, Galen set off for the continent of Beluaterra to attempt to earn his nobility back in a life of adventure. After several years of difficult work slaying monsters, undead and serving Belluateran lords - Galen was again recognized as being of noble blood. Upon gaining his new status, he boarded a ship to Atamara to return to the continent of his ancestors, and rebuild a noble life. He is currently fighting under the standard of Minas Ithil in the north.

Fisc - Son of Mannix

Fisc Arylon, also known as The Emerald Knight and Fisc Silvertongue, is the older of the famous Arylon twins, born just minutes before his brother Taran. Fisc is the founder and King of the realm of Everguard in northern Dwilight. He is formerly the long standing Lord of the region of Dakan, in the northeast part of Toren. Additionally, Fisc has also been a long-serving Fiduciary, as well as the founder and Marshal of the Phoenix Guard. He has recently married Luna DawnStar, and the two are beginning to plan a family of their own. After his brother Taran's defection from their ancestral home of the Cagilian Empire to Abington, the brothers relationship has been somewhat cool, but has warmed a bit in recent years. Fisc is by far the most renowned and successful of the entire Arylon family.

Taran - Son of Mannix

Taran Arylon is the younger of the famous Arylon twins, born before his brother Fisc by only a few minutes. He is currently the Lord Marshal of Suville - having been appointed such at the creation of the kingdom. He has gained a great deal of notoriety from his engineering of the defense of Suville against an overwhelming horde of invading soldiers from the Cagilan Empire and Tara, scoring decisive and lasting victories. Taran has also previously been a high-ranking priest of the Aristoi Atamarism religion in the nation of Abington. He began his life in the Cagilan Empire but as his life evolved, he later left the Empire in favor of Abington. Since his defection, his relationship with his twin brother Fisc Arylon have been somewhat chilly, but still civil.

Roddick - Son of Caven

Roddick Arylon is the eldest son of Mannix's younger brother, Caven who had settled in the Far East in the nation of Soliferum. His mother had died in childbirth, and after his father was killed in battle when he was 10 years old, his uncle Mannix came to Soliferum and brought Roddick to live with him and his cousins in the colonies. After Mannix was killed himself, Roddick wandered the world learning of its many lands, before briefly settling back in Soliferum as a warrior. Roddick was restless, however, and seeking greater glory and a rougher life, he immigrated to the South-West Island, joining the realm of Ikalak. His time there was short however, as the island soon began to sink into the ocean forcing him to leave once again. Desperate to find some semblance of stability, he returned to the Colonies and joined the realm of Wetham.

Heads of House Arylon Through History

• Avalair Arylon - Avalair was the first noble in the Arylon line.
• Alexis Arylon - Alexis ascended to the head of the family when Avalair was poisoned, and though Alexis was implicated in the poisoning, his involvement was never proven and he was able to defend his ascension to the head of the house.
• Mannix Arylon - Mannix Arylon assumed command of the Arylon family upon the exile of his father, Alexis Arylon. Alexis was banished from Atamara, and rather than share his father's fate, Mannix condemned Alexis and attacked his interests to curry favor with the Prime Minister of Cagilan Empire.
• Jaden Arylon / Fisc Arylon - The standard of House Arylon is currently split, with the eldest brother Jaden assuming the mantle when he believed his father to be killed. Fisc did the same when Mannix was killed, as he was unaware of his older brothers Jaden and Galen still being alive. Since then, Fisc has learned of both brother's survival, but Galen is uninterested in commanding the family, and Jaden is far away and isolated - so he retains effective control over the Arylon clan.
